[Verse 1]

And you were

Carrying a lot of weight upon your shoulders

Shrugging it off like

It don't even matter

And I was

Caught holding open the door for an old bowlegged stranger

And he looked at me like

I ain't done him a favor

But, oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

[Verse 2]

And you were

Walking down the street in your patent leather

And wearing it out 'cause

It looks better weathered

And you were

Caught holding open the door for an old bowlegged stranger

And he looked at you like

He'd never been better

But oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

[Bridge]

Don't be angry

Don't be sad, don't be blue

And why on earth should you do

What God wants you to do

When he's got more

Than a few

Manuals from which to choose?

And the sadness you have

Is the love that you feel

Trying to turn itself

Into something that's real

[Verse 3]

And you were

Carrying a lot of weight upon your shoulders

And shrugging it off like

It don't even matter

And I was

Caught holding the door for you in threatening weather

And you looked at me like

You'd never been better
